Re: [GSAS-Member] Julidochromis Transcriptus needs a home

Laurel,

Hi, I just got home from an out of town trip and saw your post. If you
have not found a home for your J. transcriptus I would love to add it
to my collection. I have about a dozen of various size in my tang
tank. The only other things in with them are 4 black calvus and some
synodontis.

I live in Woodinville and travel north a lot so it would be easy for
me to come by (seems like I remember a post that you live up north
like Lynnwood or something).

So long as the water is hard enough and you carefully select the  
species they can be ok.  I should have been more specific.  Fish like

lamprologus multifasciatus wouldn't mix well with mbuna, similar to  
most julies(territory battles that the mbuna would likely win), but  
fish like tropheus could probably get along with more peaceful  
malawians (or maybe some victorians) like Auloncara species.  My main

point was that they don't do well in community tanks.
